Issue dossier

The official guide warns that soldering irons are hot, emit fumes, and can be dangerous if misused, recommends ventilation or fume extraction, and warns that WS2812B LED plastic can melt. It also documents optional power-bank, lanyard, stand, sensor, and I2S modifications without supplying an event-wide electrical safety review, battery policy, enclosure specification, current budget, or support guarantee.

A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.
